EPC for Power Providers

As an industry pioneer in alternative procurement, we offer the ability and flexibility to manage Engineer/Procure/Construct (EPC) teams on larger power projects. Granite’s civil estimators regularly assist owners with valuable conceptual estimating and budgeting for their projects, as well as constructability reviews prior to project procurement.

Power Generation

With the complexity of today’s power and energy climate, our clients require an astute level of understanding and environmental sensitivity while working around and within power and energy sites. Over the last several decades, we have developed specialized services for civil services for power plants, substations and fossil fuel facilities.

Gateway Generating Station, Antioch, CA

The project was a 530 Megawatt, natural gas fired power plant with an air cooled condenser, which provides electric power for 400,000 homes. Project included mechanical and electrical construction of two heat-reducing steam generator (HRSG’s), two combustion turbines, one steam turbine generator (STG), one air cooled condenser and numerous support foundations and slabs.

Midwest Transmission Project, Missouri

The Midwest Transmission Project involved the installation of a new 345kV transmission line in northeast Missouri and southeast Nebraska. The project extends approximately 180 miles from the substation located at Omaha Public Power District’s (OPPD) Nebraska City generating station to the substation located at KCP&L’s Sibley generating station. A 345kV switching station was also constructed south of Maryville, Missouri.

Wind, Solar and Hydro Power for Tomorrow

Nationally ranked #32 in Power and #9 in Solar, Granite offers a wide range of civil renewable installation experience, safely providing site civil and mechanical services. We offer innovative power solutions for electricity generation, pump storage, transportation and rural energy services that result in significant energy security and economic benefits.

“Both in the office and out in the field, your team demonstrated an exceptionally high level of innovation, honesty and dependability. We look forward to the next opportunity to work together.”

Solar Power

Within the last five years, Granite has completed more than 70 solar projects, covering over 5,000 acres and installing over 242 MW of single-axis tracker for solar installations. Typical projects range from 0.25 MW to over 170 MW.

Wind Power

Modern utility-scale wind turbines range from around 600 kW to 5 MW of rated power and offer extensive long-term potential benefit. Granite provides civil infrastructure services for wind farms in some of the most remote locations in the U.S.

Hydropower & Pump Storage

As a national leader in civil infrastructure, our expertise with tunneling, dam structures, reservoirs, powerhouse and transmission/delivery is leveraged significantly for the hydropower and pump storage markets. We also have strong experience in logistics, permitting, government affairs and public outreach services.

University of Arizona Solar Technology Park – Tucson, AZ

As part of the U of A’s “Solar Zone” research facility, Granite self-performed 85 percent of the project, installing 36 concentrating PV trackers, 252 mega-modules and all electrical, drilling and foundation work.

Centinela Solar Energy Facility – Calexico, CA

This 170 MW Solar facility utilizes photovoltaic panels, where Granite installed more than 175,000 piers spread across 1,600 acres. We developed several cost-saving innovations for the project, including magnetic-mounted laser receivers to adjust pier brackets and increase precision and speed of installations.
